Multidimensional Bosonization
نویسنده
چکیده
Bosonization of degenerate fermions yields insight both into Landau Fermi liquids, and into non-Fermi liquids. We begin our review with a pedagogical introduction to bosonization, emphasizing its applicability in spatial dimensions greater than one. After a brief historical overview, we present the essentials of the method. Well known results of Landau theory are recovered, demonstrating that this new tool of many-body theory is robust. Limits of multidimensional bosonization are tested by considering several examples of non-Fermi liquids, in particular the composite fermion theory of the half-filled Landau level. Nested Fermi surfaces present a different challenge, and these may be relevant in the cuprate superconductors. We conclude by discussing the future of multidimensional bosonization.

Bosonization and the eikonal expansion: similarities and differences
We compare two non-perturbative techniques for calculating the singleparticle Green’s function of interacting Fermi systems with dominant forward scattering: our recently developed functional integral approach to bosonization in arbitrary dimensions, and the eikonal expansion. In both methods the Green’s function is first calculated for a fixed configuration of a background field, and then aver...
متن کاملDensity-Matrix Renormalization-Group Analysis of Quantum Critical Points: I. Quantum Spin Chains
We present a simple method, combining the density-matrix renormalization-group (DMRG) algorithm with finite-size scaling, which permits the study of critical behavior in quantum spin chains. Spin moments and dimerization are induced by boundary conditions at the chain ends and these exhibit power-law decay at critical points. Results are presented for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet; an...
متن کاملChiral bosonization as a duality.
We demonstrate that the technique of abelian bosonization through duality transformations can be extended to gauging anomalous symmetries. The example of a Dirac fermion theory is first illustrated. This idea is then also applied to bosonize a chiral fermion by gauging its chiral phase symmetry. Two dimensional field theory has long proven to be a fruitful area of investigation. An interesting ...
متن کاملReducibility and Bosonization of Parasupersymmetric and Orthosupersymmetric Quantum Mechanics
Order-p parasupersymmetric and orthosupersymmetric quantum mechanics are shown to be fully reducible when they are realized in terms of the generators of a generalized deformed oscillator algebra and a Zp+1-grading structure is imposed on the Fock space. The irreducible components provide p + 1 sets of bosonized operators corresponding to both unbroken and broken cases. Such a bosonization is m...
متن کاملAn introduction to bosonization
This is an expanded version of a lecture given at the Workshop on Theoretical Methods for Strongly Correlated Fermions, held at the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques, in Montréal, from May 26 to May 30, 1999. After general comments on the relevance of field theory to condensed matter systems, the continuum description of interacting electrons in 1D is summarized. The bosonization procedure is ...
